Dobbs is Crap! Blindsided Gorelick our Dem and I think got info from

[KoKo]

Ted Olsen who sat behind Asscroft at the hearings. Olsen found a memo in which Gorelick put in place prohibitions between CIA and FBI Intelligence Exchange. Asscroft surprised Commish with this.

Lou's Trick was confronting Gorelick saying there are people "who have challenged your role on this Commission because you were part of the Clinton administration and therefore you should have recused yourself from asking questions."

Gorelick was blindsided by Lou's attack. She looked like a deer in the headlights, and while she tried admirably to defend her role on the Commission Lou just kept going at her.

Lou got info from Olsen. He's NOT the good guy we think he is!

[stopthegop]

1. it's a valid point...

she was involved...has an interest in how things turn out

[Thrill]

3. Sad

they can't defend their actions on 9/11 so they start attacking commision members. Unreal these people

[KoKo]

6. And Thompson, Kean, Kerrey and the others DON'T? What are you saying

This is a battle on the Media of Clinton Vs. Bush. The media don't want to take responsibility for the "Chimp-in-Thief's" P-Residency in how they trashed Gore but never investigated how totally weak a candidate the Chimp was.

So, now we have a Commission going through all of this and they have to "Go After with Big Guns" and smear and tear down any Dem who is on this Commission?

Lou is a POS.

[Gman]

19. Bullshit!

Name one thing she has an interest in.

This was a blantant political attack. Its being orchestrated through the RNC and Dobbs is a party to it.

[SEAburb]

23. Is it a committee of one? How is it relevant?

All the member of the committee have a political interest in the outcome. More mudding the water with a non-issues.

[demgrrrll]

2. Olsen sat behind Ashcroft? Why does that remind me of the scene

in the Godfather where Pantaglia's brother is sitting in
the back row of the audience.

[Failure]

4. Agreed...

Lou showed his hand with this thing, which, as Gorelick correctly said, has nothing to do with these hearings. Dobbs is good on Jobs, but a Republican bootlicker nonetheless.

[KoKo]

14. Thanks! And, now I question why he's doing this "expose" on Outsourcing!

He seems so sympathetic to "Outsourcing" and wants restrictions on Immigration taking American Jobs.

But, what the hell is his "true" agenda? And why don't we have more folks in the media besides Dobbs talking about "Outsourcing?" Or, was he supposed to be the "pressure valve" to make him appear "Fair and Balanced" and to UP his ratings??

These Media Whores are Disgusting. They want to play "Good Cop/Bad Cop" and reverse it around so their audience doesn't even know what the hell is going on.

All of the Cable Media are "playing both ends against the middle" to keep their ratings and salaries high.

[Career Prole]

20. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if the media doesn't actively try to "force"

a close race to get more mileage out of it.

[Emboldened Chimp]

5. But wasn't Gorelick appointed by *?

Remember, this is a PRESIDENTIAL commission, not a Congressional one. Her appointment rests squarely on Shrub's shoulders.

Makes one wonder if this were intentional...wouldn't put it past Rove.

[sadiesworld]

9. Of course her appointment was intentional.

[gbwarming]

7. Reno said there was no wall. Ashcroft could have torn it down (if real)

You tell me why John Ashcroft (AG) couldn't write a memo that overturned Gorelick (former Asst AG) if he thought there was a real problem. Crickets...

[PROGRESSIVE1]

8. Lou Dobbs is a PNAC shill!

I DO NOT trust this MOFO!!!!

Lou Dobbs is no better than "Hitler Hannity"!

:puke:

[DoYouEverWonder]

10. At least she didn't write a book

with Condi Rice like Philip Zelikow did.

If we start talking about 9-11 commission members conflicts of interests, at least half of the commission should resign.

[RobertSeattle]

11. Is this "DU Hates Dobbs" week?

I lost my program.

:evilgrin:

[rinsd]

18. Stop....you're killing me (nt)

[KoKo]

35. We have such high expectations I assume we are doomed to have them

dashed. Dobbs seemed to really be getting onto something...a champion against Corporate Outsourcing. Then he turns and bites in the foot, then goes for the neck and want's to bring us down with deceitfulness.

He's hiding his agenda. Some may be able to accept his "outsourcing" stuff and take it for what it is. Exposing what's going on in our economy for average Americans.

What can I say...I'm a purist..and very suspicious after years now of watching how the Repugs co-opt us. :shrug:

[theoceansnerves]

12. i never thought he was

and i seriously wondered why people here thought he was. and i've heard in his newsletter he does nothing but shill for bush anyway.

[moondust]

13. Dobbs still thinks invading Iraq was correct.

He said so just this morning on Imus.

[KoKo]

26. Yes! thanks. I didn't want to believe what I heard on Imus about Lou's

postion on Iraq! But, I have seen this on his show which I only tuned back into because he was the only one going on about the "Outsourcing."

Now we know what he's about...sad...

[59millionmorons]

15. No blindside

This was already mentioned during today's hearings. Asscroft could of torn that wall down anytime he wanted to and chose not too.

[freetobegay]

16. Lou Dobbs is one of the best things for Democrats right now!

Shame on him for haveing a mind & not agreeing with us 100% of the time.

What ever happened to having an open mind?

[NNN0LHI]

17. Dobbs is a dick. Always has been. Always will be

He talks a little populist shit and some get all googly eyed and think he is the best thing since sliced bread. He wants Bush elected so he can keep his tax cut for the wealthy. Has anyone heard how his wifes case is doing for trying to carry a loaded pistol on to a commercial jet? Or did that get all covered up?

Don

[TeeYiYi]

22. Wives . . .

. . . aren't they a caution? :7 What with that pesky little gun snafu and then there's Unka Dick's wife's out-of-print autobiography. What are ya gonna do? . . .

TYY

[KoKo]

25. Don, gotta agree with you here. I was taken in for awhile with his "out-

sourcing" deal because it needed to be talked about, but then watching what else he's done has made me very suspicious...and now with today's trashing of Gorelick, turned me off. He was also on Imus this a.m. giving some "thumbs up" to Sharon.

All of this makes me think he's just another "dime a dozen" Media Whore.

So sad...this is what we have as our TV Press which is what most Americans look to. And Dobbs probably get's a pretty high I.Q. somewhat informed bunch not like your average "Lacy Peterson/Female Abuse Flavor of the Month Story."

:-( I don't know what to think anymore..

[0007]

32. No argument here,

[KC21304]

21. I think it was a fair question to ask and I think she answered it fine.

Between Reno saying there wasn't a wall and Gorelick saying Ashcroft's deputy only changed one of the four items I think we won the point.

[CityDem]

24. I disagree - the "wall" memo was a bombshell

First, it put the commission on the defensive in terms of questioning Asscroft. Second, it makes Gorelick look like she has a conflict of interest. I hate to say it, but Asscroft put the commission on it's heels after this memo was mentioned and the media whores will pick up on this as evidenced by Dobbs. Gorelick is going to be the story coming out of the hearings today - not Asscroft.

[KoKo]

28. Sadly it was a "bombshell." Gorelick didn't expect they would go to that

extent to discredit her. She hasn't been on DU and lives in the DC bubble and really doesn't understand what she's up against. When she saw Ted Olsen sitting behind Asscroft she should have known "dirty tricks" were afoot. Because Ted is run by Mellon Scaife! And his deceased wife was the mouthpiece for Scaife and a counterpart to Coulter for years after Clinton.

Oh...yes..the damned Repug Insiders know where all the Dem bodies are buried and they have the only keys to the graveyard. They are disgusting! :puke:

[Dookus]

27. Dobbs has always been crap

but just because he takes some faux-populist positions on economic matters, people here forgive him nearly anything.

[napi21]

29. Current admin. kept 3 of her 4 items. She did fine!

Sure she was blindsided, but I think she did just fine when she reminded Lou that after all of Ashcrofts whining about the four points that built this WALL, they ended up KEEPING 3 of them!!

I don't hold it against Lou for asking. I don't want him soft peddling the Dems either. If there's a question he needs to ask it!

[0007]

30. Never thought he was, hardly ever watch Lou anymore

[jfkdemocrat]

31. Get Off Lou's Back

Dobbs is a helluva journalist. He is with us on most all domestic issues. It was a reasonable question and one that should be asked without everybody saying that he's now "bad"....The demand for lockstep thinking here can be troubling. Dobb's has done more on his TV program to kill Bush and his agenda on jobs and the economy than all the Air America shows put together. Let him be a journalist and not expect him to be a Al Franken every night.

[KoKo]

33. No...what I'm saying about Lou is DON'T be taken in by him! He deserves

no more respect than the rest of the Media Whores! I was almost taken in by him over the "Outsourcing" story where I thought: "Finally, some media person is with us and willing to go out and report this."

But when you look at Lou's whole reporting and watch, you see where he's coming from.

Just BEWARE! Now that I see this I will be very wary of him. Always questioning where he's coming from in his "reporting" and the folks he has on his show once he's hooked us with his "outsourcing." What else is he doing that could "suck you in?" :shrug: Suck you into the Repug Web...is what I'm saying here.

[BGrier]

34. I've Never Liked Dobbs

Ever since his reporting on "Judge" Starr's investigation of Clinton's penis.
